Cider House Options

Visit our tasting room to enjoy our craft hard cider by the sample or glass and take any of these ciders home in an eco-friendly growler or a four pack of cans. If you prefer a more traditionally made dry cider, grab one of our Cellar Series blends, they are bottled and ready to go. Don't miss the fresh baked donuts and locally made fruit pies!

A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT OUR METHODS, APPLES, TECHNIQUES, AND THE USE OF PRESERVATIVES IN OUR HARD CIDER.

We hand-craft on site in 200 gallon batches. At minimum, it takes 10 weeks from pressing the apples until a batch is finished and ready to serve. However, some of our best ciders have aged longer, for up to 9 months. We use simple methods with attention to detail. Cultured yeasts give predictable results and the fresh apple flavors are preserved by not filtering and using minimal if any post fermentation preservatives (sulfites and sorbates).

If all goes as planned, our juice is treated once before fermentation with a dose of sulfite. This step cleans up any wild yeast and bacteria in the juice and allows for a cleaner fermentation. The early dosage also gives time for their "Off Flavors" to dissipate before the cider reaches the tasting room glass.

Despite our best efforts to limit their use post fermentation, sulfite additions at that time are sometimes necessary. Any of our blends with post ferment adds of any preservative will be labeled as such.

Our blends are a combination of Dessert with Bitter Sweet and Bitter Sharp apple varieties blended in. We like what the bitters bring to our blends and will continue to seek varietal combinations that offer maximum sugar, balanced acidity, and a smooth mouthfeel. The ABV of our cider ranges from 5% to 7-ish% and sweetness levels can be found across the entire spectrum. Before serving, the cider is force carbonated and back sweetened if necessary. Please remember our ciders are best when consumed within 3 weeks of purchase and are kept fresh by always being stored upright in your refrigerator.
